This month’s collection is all about Tengu, specifically this band of outlaw Tengu (the Yugiri Outlaws), who hide in the bamboo forest of the same name. This ragtag band of thieves and vagabonds are lead by none other than Usagibo, the child prodigy favored by the Bunny Mask Yokai of the forest. Each of these characters has their own story to tell, and I think this would be an awesome encounter for a creative DM, whether they come in purely as enemies, or as an uneasy alliance to help them on their way to a greater purpose. We also have TWO surprise minis for the Lunar New Year that will get unveiled on the 1st ????

We strayed a bit far from most of the concepts that Paul provided for this month, but kept the overall feel of the group sketch he made. I don’t want to show it because we might end up using those designs for future tengu! Kotenbo, the mask-on-mask tengu, is the closest match to his sketches, while Erin took the size ratios of the others and ran wild with it. 

TheBetaMarie has once again done a fantastic job with the bases and scatter this month, with the wonderful thematic bases that can be printed supportless (flat on the build plate)! The Torii Gate will require supports due to the giant tassels, but the supported file for that should be arriving soon. Lovely renders were created by Calrais, as usual. 

This month we have a Cross-Promo with Goonmaster, but not for his patreon… It’s for his Basing Bits Kickstarter! He’s generously offered some samples for our patrons to try, and is about to launch his Kickstarter for even more. I know how much fun everyone has with our 40pc Decorations Pack, so I’m sure this will be a great way to expand your kitbashing capabilities.
